Electrical

Everyone thinks of the local sparky when they think about the electrical trade, but take a closer look at any industry and you’ll find an electrical trade specialist channelling power in ways that might surprise you.

Trade Specialisation

Metal and Engineering

A career pathway in the metal and engineering trade offers a wide range of specialisation opportunities that are hands-on, hardy and often a bit greasy. Above all this trade requires determination and grit to deliver highly accurate work in varied and often extreme working environments.

Trade Specialisation

Automotive and Mechanical

The automotive and mechanical trade is for rev-heads and engine fanatics of all makes and models. You can specialise in engine types and sizes, depending on your host employer. A career in the trade requires passion and respect for the vehicles and engines you will be entrusted to maintain and develop day in/ day out.

Multidisciplinary Traineeships

Construction

Whether you want to build towers and tunnels or tables and cabinets there is a specialisation for you. There are even ‘finishing’ trades for the painters and plasters. The construction trade is founded on craftsmanship, so attention to detail and precision are must have traits for success.

Electrical Instrumentation Apprenticeships

An Electrical Instrumentation tradesperson primarily focuses on the measurement, automation and control of systems used to monitor and maintain temperature, pressure and flow in processes for industries such as mining, oil and gas, food and manufacturing.

Electrical Instrumentation takes a curious mind. Throughout your apprenticeship you will develop the skills essential for investigating systems, installing equipment, servicing them and ensuring everything is operating at peak performance. This qualification offers opportunities across a broad spectrum of industries. You could find yourself working for large multinational organisations, such as Honeywell, BHP Billiton or even Arnott's Biscuits.

There are major two pathways to become qualified in both Instrumentation and Control – either as an apprenticeship completing the UEE31211 Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control or as a specialisation for an electrical tradesperson who has already completed the Certificate IV in Instrumentation.

This trade typically requires a five-year apprenticeship, with opportunities for Dual Trade qualifications in the HVAC industry. MIGAS will facilitate your practical work placement with one of our quality host employers. In addition to on-the-job training, we will assist you with enrolment through a Registered Training Organisation to complete your certification. With MIGAS you will be fully supported throughout the duration of your placement by a Field Officer and by the wider MIGAS Apprentices and Trainees community.
